Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Come on the Polar Bear Express with me as we read Eric Carle books and do projects to reinforce our writing, vocabulary and storytelling. My students are a great group of special education learners with extend support needs in a special day class.

My children love Eric Carle and our books are so loved that they are torn!

I am requesting requesting books that are torn and need replacing as they are missing pages because that are so well read! I am also asking for Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards so I can continue to print activities to help us continue with exciting projects and activities to go along with our library.
